Not new Model 19’s....

[Sherman A. House DDS]

I think my M66 2.5” from back in the day needs a new set of Eagle Secret Service stocks!

This M66 2.5" used to belong to the former Chief of Police for Monterey Park, CA. Stocks are Farrant, sights have some formerly luminous stuff on them from back in the day. The ammo in the picture was what was in the gun when he passed away and the gun was passed down to his son, a co-worker of mine.

Thinking the same about my 19.

Update...the Secret Service grips are a hair off on the finger grooves to my fingers. I had a set of Ahrends I absolutely love. They are just a little longer and fill my hand better. So, for your viewing pleasure:

So here's a question from someone who is going to dive into owning a .357 revolver for the first time this fall:

How worried do I need to be about a .357 K-Frame Smith "going out of time" on a diet of 300 to 400 medium powered, 158 grain loads a year?

Rest easy. With that level of use it will outlive you.

The key with k frames is to go easy with the .357 mag stuff. Non nuclear loads, and carry and sight confirmation a couple times a year and they are fine,and really what they were designed for. I find that these are great hi performance .38 Special Guns with modern ammunition. You want to really shoot .357 Magnum in a S&W....N frame.

That is what a model 19 looks like!

Ouch......seeing that stings.

Mine had the factory small stocks with a Tyler T grip installed. I ordered the Tyler T through mail order out of one of the popular gun magazines back in the day. 1989, I think. Bought it in Newton, AL brand spanking new. Had the blue S&W box, papers, everything.

Sold it to my uncle's second or third wife for 300.00 cash......to purchase something else that had my eye.

I debate buying another one but the price tags scare me away. And no, my uncle is not still married to her so some harlot somewhere has my daggum wheelgun. Probably rusting away in southern Alabama under the seat of a Trans Am on blocks in front of some double wide.

Ticks me off every time I see a 2.5 inch 19.

Then don't watch "The Gauntlet" with Clint Eastwood. He packs a 2.5" Model 66 in that one.

Eh, stainless is nice and all....and I actually have a 66 in the four inch variety.......
